Amazon SES click tracking now supports custom URL paths for mobile app deep linking
Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) now makes it easier to support mobile deep linking with the new ses:custom-path HTML attribute. When you add this attribute to an tag, SES carries your path segment through to the tracking URL, so mobile operating systems can match it to your app’s Universal Links (iOS) or App Links (Android) configuration. This enables you to use mobile deep linking without disabling engagement tracking.\n This feature is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon SES is available. To use this feature, you need a custom redirect domain for click tracking with an Apple App Site Association (AASA) or Digital Asset Links verification file hosted on that domain. Then, add the ses:custom-path attribute to links in your HTML emails.
To learn more, see Configuring custom domains to handle open and click tracking and the Amazon SES email sending metrics FAQs in the Amazon SES Developer Guide.
AWS Billing and Cost Management introduces Managed Dashboards
AWS Billing and Cost Management (BCM) Dashboards now include Managed Dashboards. These are a collection of preconfigured and read-only dashboards located in your dashboard list. They deliver actionable cost insights with your account data pre-populated without setup. \n There are five curated dashboards. Cost Overview & Trends tracks your spending patterns across services, accounts, and regions over 12 months with forward-looking forecasts. Compute and Database dashboards show your spend pattern within each service category, pairing cost breakdowns with relevant commitment coverage and utilization metrics in a single view. Reservations and Savings Plans dashboards show how well your purchased commitments are performing across all eligible services, quantifying gaps and underutilization in monetary terms.
All managed dashboards are read-only and maintained by AWS. You can duplicate any dashboard to create a fully editable custom copy, add individual widgets to your existing dashboards, and export via PDF or CSV. Whether you are starting your FinOps journey or looking for a standardized baseline across accounts, Managed Dashboards give you cost visibility without setup so you can focus on analysis and action rather than configuration.
AWS Managed Dashboards are available in all commercial AWS Regions at no additional cost. To get started, navigate to Dashboards in the AWS Billing and Cost Management console or view the user guide.
